These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and OYLA ("OYLA", "we", "us"). They govern your use of the OYLA mobile app and the oylavote.com website (the "Service"). By using the Service, including as a guest, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Who can use OYLA
- You must be at least 13 years old. If the law where you live sets a higher age for using online services without a parent's consent, that age applies.
- If you are under 18, you may use the Service only with the permission of a parent or guardian.
- You may not use the Service if we have previously removed you for breaking these Terms, or if the law prohibits you from using it.
2. Your account
You sign in with your Google account or your Apple ID. You can also browse and vote as a guest without an account; guest votes are counted, and guest data is deleted after 30 days of inactivity. You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your sign-in secure. Do not impersonate others or create accounts to mislead, spam or manipulate.
3. Your content
You keep ownership of the polls, options, photos, videos, comments and profile details you post ("User Content"). You are responsible for it, and you confirm that you have the rights needed to post it.
By posting User Content you give OYLA a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt for technical purposes (such as resizing), display and distribute it in order to operate, secure, improve and promote the Service. Other users may vote on, comment on, share and remix your public polls. The licence ends when your content is deleted from our systems, except for backup copies kept for a limited time, content others have already reshared, anything we must keep for legal or safety reasons, and aggregated results that no longer identify you.
4. Rules
There is no tolerance on OYLA for objectionable content or abusive behaviour. You may not post content or act in a way that:
- breaks any law;
- sexually exploits or endangers children in any way, including child sexual abuse material or sexualised content involving minors;
- is sexually explicit or pornographic, or shares intimate images without consent;
- is hateful, harassing, threatening or bullying, or attacks people for who they are;
- promotes violence, self-harm, terrorism or criminal activity;
- reveals private information about someone without permission, such as addresses, phone numbers, IDs or financial details;
- infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity rights;
- is spam, a scam, phishing, or fake or coordinated engagement;
- impersonates a person, brand or organisation in a misleading way;
- contains malware or tries to disrupt, scrape or reverse engineer the Service.
You also may not use bots or scripts to vote or post, manipulate poll results, or get around blocks, rate limits, moderation or other safety systems.
5. Moderation
We filter prohibited words, automatically screen uploaded images, and review what users report. You can report any poll, comment or account from its menu, and you can block any user; a blocked user can no longer follow you, comment on your content or see your profile. We aim to review reports within 24 hours. We may remove or restrict content, limit features, and suspend or permanently remove accounts that break these Terms, and we may report illegal content to the authorities. If you think we got a decision wrong, email support@oylavote.com.
6. Copyright
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act and similar laws. If you believe content on OYLA infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@oylavote.com with the subject "Copyright notice" that includes:
- your physical or electronic signature;
- the copyrighted work you say is infringed;
- the content you want removed and where it is (a link to the poll, or its title and the account that posted it);
- your name, address, phone number and email address;
- a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.
We remove content named in a valid notice and tell the person who posted it. They may send a counter-notice to the same address if they believe the removal was a mistake; it must include their signature, the content removed and where it was, a statement under penalty of perjury that they believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, their name, address and phone number, and consent to the jurisdiction of the courts where they live (or, outside the United States, any court where OYLA may be found). We may restore the content 10 to 14 business days after a valid counter-notice unless the copyright owner tells us they have filed a court action. We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. Full details are at oylavote.com/copyright.
7. The Service
The app, its design, the OYLA name and logo, and everything in the Service other than User Content belong to OYLA or its licensors. We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app for its intended purpose. The Service contains ads and relies on third-party services, including Google and Apple; we are not responsible for third-party content or services. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.
8. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how we use it. It is available in the app under Settings > Privacy & legal and at oylavote.com/privacy.
9. Deleting your account and termination
You can delete your account at any time in Settings > Delete account or at oylavote.com/delete-account. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, if you create risk or legal exposure for users or for OYLA, or if the law requires it. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as 3, 6, 10, 11 and 13) continue to apply after your account ends.
10. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, OYLA disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Poll results reflect the votes of the people who chose to take part; they are not scientific surveys and we do not vouch for their accuracy.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, OYLA and its operators, licensors and service providers are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
12. App Store terms
If you downloaded the app from Apple's App Store: these Terms are between you and OYLA only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, and is not responsible for any product claims or third-party intellectual property claims relating to it. If the app fails to conform to a warranty that applies, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; to the fullest extent the law allows Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them. You confirm that you are not located in a country under U.S. government embargo and are not on a U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. This does not take away any mandatory consumer protection you have under the law of the country where you live.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. If a change is material we will tell you in the app or by other appropriate means before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated Terms.
